We stayesd 4 night here. We LOVED IT. Everything was excellent. The staff was ultra friendly. The beds were very comfortable and very, very quiet, even though there was a festival going on outside our hotel. The staff were very helpful to get to every single one of our needs. Breakfast was really good and overall, it was a fantastic day. We will definitely come back!

Stayed here for three nights, and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Every single staff member was exceptional; professional, friendly and kind. Our room was fantastic; great bathroom and we loved the wooden shutters looking out over the street. We were on the 5th floor, and didn't hear much street noise. Heard noises from down the corridor, but nothing abnormal for such a large hotel. Breakfast options were fantastic; lots of pastries, hot and cold options, and something to suit all tastes. There was a coffee machine, but it only seemed to serve decaf coffee throughout our stay. Great selection of juices. The hotel was beautiful and we are so glad we stayed in this particular location; it was very walkable to all of the main sites, and although it was located on a busy, thriving street, it didn't feel as tourist-y as the neighbouring areas (e.g., Grand Via, where we also looked initially for hotel options). This was more towards the expensive end of the hotels we were looking at, but we couldn't fault a thing, and somewhat regret booking a much cheaper hotel next to the airport for our final night (in retrospect we would have preferred to be at Hotel Francisco I for one extra night, and utilised their airport shuttle service). Thank you to all of the staff for making this such an excellent stay. We highly recommend.

Hotel Francisco I is a great property! It is a clean, quiet, well appointed oasis in the heart of a bustling city. It is situated in the heart of historic Madrid on the pedestrian portion of calle del Arenal and is a short walk to many places of interest. Our room and bed were very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that breakfast was included and we enjoyed both the food and the setting. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The property is a beautiful boutique hotel with very friendly staff. Location is very good with many dining options as well as proximity to 2 Metro stations (Opera and Sol). We were able to walk to the shopping area of Gran Via. Please note though that you have to walk just a little bit to reach the hotel as there's no car/taxi/Uber that can stop right in front of the hotel.
